CHICAGO, Ill, August San al.
most incredible story Of how George

the information possible regarding the
boodlers and their lawyers during the
trial. After that Kehm after d,d all

nation OF talesmen for the

correspondence right In the court
room between Klshm and Grinnell by
means Of almost impercepuble signs
by which the Estates attorney was
able to detect whether . pr rson being
examined wss q "ssfe" man or not,
Kiehm's pleading guilty ives q sur

was caused by his belief that the
promise Of Grin nell would sv.ii him

the mercy OF the jndse.

TRUE MERIT.

We wish to say to every one interested
in clothes washing that the futile combi-
nation steam washer is an article of true
MERIT that it is, without question. the
only complete family washing machine
ever known. 1t clenses the finest lace or
cOarsest article of washing perfectly and
without injury. The machine is easily
wOrked-a child ten years old being cap
able of operating it, and will do wash
ing in two hours that requires hard
days labor at the wash tub. The steam
washer is universally known as the only
true washer. The futile steam washer
is of late origin, and an improvement
over all others or it would not have been
granted apatent. There has been large
territory disposed of on the merits of the
Tuttle washer, and while there is good
" field remaining unsold we callenge any
one to produce any enterprise with q like
amount of investments that will give an
enterprising man the same returns Ex-
cellent arrangements made with county
agents. To prove our claims for the ma
chine. we would refer you to parties who
have used the Tuttle washer in this city
for nearly year, and who speak in high
est terms of praise for the same, or we
will show or operate the washer at your
homes free of charge. Dodge City is our
headquarters for western Kansas, at the
grain and grocery store of j. w. Gibbs
& Co., where We will be pleased to meet
parties wishing to interview US.

THE SUGAR BUSINESS.

The success of the sugar works at Fort
Scott is reviving the subject of the cul-
tivation of sorghum cane in Kansas. Su-
gar cane will grow successfully in Kan
sas during any season, whether wet or
dry. But the cultivation of cane for the
sum of one dollar and fifty cents per ton
cannot be profitable business for the
farmers, nnless the sugar works are close
to his door. In view of the extensive
raising of cane and the low cost of sugar
works, the necessary machinery could be
had in almost any ordinary town in Kan
sas of respecta Die size and invadent en-
terprise.
We hope Dodge City citizens will take
hold of the matter of sugar production,
which enterprise could easily be put un-
der way now that railroads and other
public institutions FIRE becoming part
of the city's enterprises.
Let the subject be discussed in the in
tervals of the rejoici ngs over Dodge City s
good fortunes.
